No sacrifice, any ways consistent with your welfare, and with the independence of the State, however painful, have - I spared to secure your tranquility and welfare by a friendly understanding 'with the Emperoi• of the French. liut all my endeavours proved fruitless.: "1"6 Austrian Monarchy was also to submit to the bound.; less ambition of the Emperor Napoleon; and in the same manner he strives to subdUe Spain, insults the sacred Head of the Church, appropriates to himself the Provinces of Italy, and parcels out the. German dominions. Austria was to do homage to the gicat Empire, the formation of which he has loudly an nounced. • I have adopted all necessary measure; to assert the independence of the state.

" Vicuna, April g, The archduke Cua.aLns has issued the following ADDRESS TO THE GERMAN NATION:. " His Majesty the Emperor of Austria is forced• to take up arms, because the French Emperor will not tolerate the existence of a State which does not rteknowledge•his supremacy of power, nor 'stoop-to become subservient to his views of conquest; be- mouse be requires that Austria shall xenounce her in , dependence, unbend her energies, and surrender at the Conqueror's 'discretion; because the armies of the trnperor of France, and of his dependent allies, advance against Austria with hostile views. " The tomes of Austria have risen for self-defence and self-preservation at the nod of their Monarch : 11101 leading them on against the enemy, to pre vent the certain attack he prepared against us. " We pass the frontiers not as cenquerort . :( 110 t as enemies of Germany : not to destroy German in■ stitutions, laws, customs' and manners, and impose foreign ones ; not to appropriate to ourselves the Property of Germany, dr to sacrifice her children in distant wars, carried on to destroy and subjugate fo reign nations. No j we fight to assert the inde- Peudeuce, of the Austrian Monarchy, and to restore to Germany the independence and national honours which are dna to her. " The same pretensions which now threaten us have already proved fatal to Germany. Otir assist ance is her last effort to be saved. Our cause is that of Germany. United with Austria, Germany .was independent and happy ; it is only through thu Imistance of Austria that Germany can receive happi peas and independence, • • 4 ' Unmans 1 Considerpar destruEtion.
